By palma from staten island, ny on November 6, 2011

Will the thermometer tell me whether or not my peak fertility has been targeted. Can I chart on graph in computer with thermometer.

By Customer Service on November 8, 2011

Answer:

We'd recommend that you chart your BBT readings at www.OvaGraph.com - it's a free online charting website. You'll need to track your BBT readings to determine when you experience your thermal shift which occurs just after ovulation occurs. For further information, we'd encourage you to read the BBT tutorial on the OvaGraph website.

Gets the job done

July 8, 2015

This is a nice thermometer, and it works well. I haven't had any issues with it so far and I've been using it for tracking for about a month and a half. I wish it didn't take quite as long to take the temperature (I've almost fallen back asleep a few times)--it only takes about two minutes as the package indicates, which seems to be the norm with most basal thermometers--but it was a great price that I couldn't pass up (I purchased it while it was on sale). I've also had to look back once or twice for a previous temperature and that option worked well. Overall, this is a great thermometer for the price. I like the clear storage case as well. THANK YOU!!!!

Pros:

Can look back at previous temperatures
Gives you readings to 1/100th of a degree
Screen is easy to read
Great price (I purchased it while it was on sale)

Cons:

Wish it didn't take two minutes to read the temperature, but that seems to be the norm

Reliable Product

June 21, 2015

I bought the digital basal thermometer in order to track my BBT in hopes to conceive. I have been using the product for about a month, along with the OvaGraph app on my iPhone. It provides a way to record all of your cycle information and creates a visual graph that is easy to read. The thermometer is reliable and accurate. I recommend the product to other women who are trying to conceive naturally.

Great price & functionality

June 17, 2015

I looked around on several sites to find a basal thermometer. This one seems simple and the price was right. It came quickly and was easy to use. We actually got pregnant after one month of recording my basal temperature, so I'm not sure if that was good luck or what. However, it was nice for me to know when conception occurred.

Pros:

Great price, easy to use

Very Accurate

June 4, 2015

I have been trying to conceive 48 years and I have been charting for one year. this is the only thermometer that I have found that is the most accurate. I use it vaginally. the battery life is outstanding! I have tried many many different basal thermometers and this one has been the best?

Pros:

outstanding battery life and the most accurate I have found.

Cons:

there is no light. so it is not easy to see at 3 a.m. in the morning when I test my temp.

Resourceful Thermometer Until Battery Dies

Exactly What I Needed

March 21, 2015

When my doctor suggested using a basal thermometer, I tried to find one at Walgreens, but it was soon obvious that I could waste a lot of time driving around for exactly what I found at Fairhaven. I didn't need something with the bells and whistles, just a thermometer that would take my temperature.

Pros:

Easy to use

Cons:

Needs back light on digital display

Wish I bought one with a backlight

March 1, 2015

It does the job, but since my toddler ends up in the bed in the morning, nursing, and trying to read the thermometer in the dark is rather difficult. I need to grab my cell phone to illuminate it so I can see the reading, which is a pain. So if you're trying to conceive baby #1, should would fine, but once you've got other children in the mix, makes it more challenging to use for sure.

Pros:

Reading is done in a reasonable time and stays on for a significant amount of time so you can read the result

Cons:

It's impossible to read in low light, really need a light shining on it to see result

Digital Basal Thermometer

December 24, 2014

I found this thermometer easy to use. However, it seemed that it beeped prematurally. I found that If I left the thermometer in my mouth an additional minute, that the final resulting temperature was higher than the temperature immediately after it beeped.
Another complaint is that the website needs to specify that this is ONLY an oral thermometer and is NOT designed to use under the arm, anally, or vaginally. Or better yet, re-design the thermometer so it CAN be used under the arm.
I did NOT buy this thermometer for ovulation purposes but to determine my basal temperature throughout the day to see how my adrenals and thyroid are functioning AND the best way to do this is measuring one's temperature under the arm!

Pros:

Memory Feature is nice and nice precsion

Cons:

- ONLY designed to be used orally. It would be great if it could be used under the arm
- I find that the thermometer has NOT fully completed its cycle when the beep goes off. I would read the thermometer at the time of the beep and then stick it back into my mouth for another minute which resulted in a higher temperature reading.

Great thermometer

December 13, 2014

I purchased this thermometer so I can take my waking temperature each morning (I use the symptothermal method of birth control). This thermometer has been perfect for that since it reads out to .01 degrees (most thermometers I found only read to .1 degrees). It is easy to use, saves the last temperature, and above all is accurate!!

Good Thermometer

December 7, 2014

I bought this thermometer as my other one was messing up my temps. I think this one is good quality however I'm not 100% crazy about some of the features. It would be nice if it had a back light to read in the dark (thankfully it does save your temp as well) and it seems to take FOREVER to get your temp. It doesn't beep the entire time it's reading either and I always feel like it's not working or I almost fall back to sleep. It has to be at least 2 mins or more to get your temp. Wish it was a bit faster or beeped while it was reading so you knew it was working.

Pros:

Good quality, saves your latest temperature

Cons:

No back light, takes a long time to get temperature

Works but came with low battery

December 3, 2014

The thermometer came to me with a very low battery. From the moment I opened it, it told me the battery was low. Because of this it would shut off shortly after taking my temperature. Now it shuts off so fast I cannot read the temperature in time. I am disappointed that I will have to buy a new battery so soon. It really only worked for me for a couple of weeks.

Merchant Response:

Hi Stephanie,
So sorry to hear of this. Just sent you an email that we're shipping you a new unit immediately.
Again, my apologies to you!
Thanks!

Pros:

I believe it will work well when I have replaced the battery

Cons:

It came with a very low battery so it has never fully functioned. Just weeks after purchasing the thermometer I have to spend more money to replace the battery.

Consistent Readings but takes Way Too Long.

November 3, 2014

Overall a good thermometer. Accurate read outs. But more Cons than pros.
This one takes the full 2 minutes to take the temp and sometimes I fall back asleep before it's done.
Memory recall could be a little faster, you really need to pay attention because it does flash fairly quick.
I'll be going back to the walgreens thermometer.

Pros:

Great price.
Accurate Temps.

Cons:

No Backlight.
Memory Recall too Fast.
Takes up to 2 full minutes to take temp.

I've been using this thermometer for almost two months now. I don't have any previous experience with a basal thermometer, so I don't have much to compare it to, but I really love this one. It's been great and easy to use. As other reviewers have mentioned, there's no backlight, so I just make sure to keep my phone on my nightstand so when I'm reading the temperature bright and early in the morning, I don't have to turn a light on. I just shine my cell phone screen on it to read the temp. I also purchased the glass one to possibly try at some point, but for now I like this digital one.

Does its job

I have been using this for fertility awareness. It seems to be consistent and accurate on top of it's precision.
The downfall is that it's hard to read in dim lighting. The other problem is that it takes a while for a reading, but I'm assuming that's how it can be so accurate, which I'd much rather have over speed.

Pros:

Cons:

I shopped around for a long time looking for the best BBT thermometer for the best price. This is it! Displays to the hundredth decimal place, very consistent readings, and so easy to use (which is really important when you're half asleep)! It's not backlit, but that wasn't a problem for me. After taking my temp, I often rolled over and went back to sleep. The memory feature is what allowed me to record my data later when I was fully alert. It was fun to track my cycle and fertility for one month, and that's all it took. We were pregnant on our first try! Now if there was only a gadget for minimizing morning sickness. ;)

Pros:

Accuracy, memory feature, easy to use, low cost

Cons:

Does the job perfectly

November 20, 2013

I've purchased this thermometer to keep track of my basal temperature for hypothyroidism. My regular thermometer gave varying readings, and I had to take my temperature 4-5 times and average it. With this one, no matter how many reading I take, they're always so close that it doesn't matter. It seems very accurate.
On the downside, it does take a lot longer than my other digital thermometer, but I guess this is the price to pay for accuracy. Last reading memory is also really useful for me since I forget to write my temp down all the time.

Pros:

Accurate
